Hearing Li Qing's arrangement, Lu Yiming on the side sighed secretly, knowing that he was finally defeated in the contest with Shang Haibo this time, Shang Haibo was only the long history of the Changsheng camp on the surface, but in fact he was Li Qing's chief military division, and he was already under one person and above ten thousand people in the Changsheng camp.

"Starting tomorrow, the expansion of the army will officially begin," Li Qingzheng said. "After talking about the military, we are going to talk about civil affairs, this is the soil for our future survival, we can't ignore it, everyone also knows that not every time we can grab something, and not every time we have someone to support us." He was alluding to Lee. "Therefore, we must rely on ourselves for everything, eating, wearing, and using, and we must be self-reliant, so that we will not be controlled by others."

"To this day, I have a population of more than 70,000 in Chongxian, right?" Li Qing looked at Xu Yunfeng.

Xu Yunfeng nodded and said: "Yes, there were originally more than 50,000 mouths, and the general brought back more than 10,000 in this battle, totaling more than 70,000." ”

"Then how much land do we have in Chongxian now?"

Xu Yunfeng is very familiar with these people's livelihood, "Chongxian is mountainous, there is not much land available for farming, the whole Chongxian County has a total of more than one million fertile fields, distributed near the county seat, Shun Township, Meiping and other townships, Chongxian County was plundered, casualties are very serious, except for some large families who fled and may come back, most of the rest have become ownerless fields." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Very good, as long as there is still the owner's field in my Chongxian County, we will not move, and still return it to them, and all the rest will not be used as public land." These public fields were granted to tenants who had no land before, and they were given 10 acres of land for each ding. ”

Xu Yunfeng was taken aback and said: "General, many of these fields belong to some big households, these people will definitely come back after the military disaster, and at that time, the general gave their fields to others, isn't there trouble?" ”

Li Qing sneered, "Come back, it's good to come back, anyway, Chongxian has a small population, if they want fields, I'll give them some more." Xu Yunfeng heard a taste of unkindness in his tone, and he didn't say anything more at the moment.

"This time the Kou soldiers attacked, our county suffered heavy losses, the old and weak women and children are the majority, this time we rescued from the Angu tribe of slaves, but also most of the women, well, tell all the soldiers, if they can find a daughter-in-law, they will also give the field." Li Qingdao.

"General, if the soldiers all go to find their daughters-in-law, this combat effectiveness? Also, do they still train hard? Lu Yiming was a little surprised.

Li Qing waved his hand, "Mr. Lu don't worry, these soldiers will have to take on the task of fighting in the future, their land is twice that of ordinary people, that is, twenty acres per mouth, in addition, these soldiers' fields do not have to pay taxes in the future, well, all the taxes that we will collect in Chongxian County in the future, as long as there are soldiers in the family, they will all be exempted." ”

When Xu Yunfeng heard this, if this was the case, wouldn't everyone be going to earn to be a soldier?

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "The general's trick is good, the soldiers have a permanent property here, but they don't have to pay taxes, whoever wants to move their property in the future, these soldiers will inevitably rise up to resist, dozens of acres of land, but the general will exchange the loyalty of thousands of soldiers, it is indeed cost-effective." ”

Li Qing laughed: "Mr. Shang knows my heart very well. I expected that after this policy was announced, there would be many people who would sign up to serve as soldiers, but now our army cannot afford to have extra soldiers and horses, and the number of 3,000 is enough. So it can be stricter when recruiting. ”

"In addition, all the young people in Chongxian County must conduct military training during the slack time, and the Changsheng battalion will send special officers to be responsible for this matter, and the village elders and village elders will be responsible for organizing it, and I want the young people in Chongxian County to be able to pull out at any time to become an army."

"Lord Xu, you are the county magistrate of this county, and you will have to worry about these things." Li Qingdao.

"Don't you do your best!" Xu Yunfeng clenched his fists.

"Mr. Lu!" Li Qing turned to Lu Yiming again, "General? Lu Yiming said.

"Mr. is familiar with civil affairs, I would like to ask Mr. to temporarily be the head of the county, to assist Xu County Order in managing the people's livelihood in Chongxian County, and to coordinate the relationship between Chongxian County and Changsheng Camp, and also, some of the things that Changsheng Camp deals with outside will be handed over to Mr., I wonder if Mr. thinks the affairs are too complicated?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "There is no problem, I will definitely live up to the general's trust." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "That's good, since everyone already knows their respective responsibilities, then tomorrow we will know what to do, and we will meet once every three days to coordinate and discuss things and solve problems." Do people have doubts? ”

Everyone responded violently, and Li Qingxi said: "Okay, after finishing the business, let's continue to drink, but today we are going to get drunk before resting." ”

As expected, when the next day Chongxian County's land granting policy was announced, it immediately set off waves in the old camp, and the people who originally had land saw that their interests would not be harmed, of course, there was no meaning, when they saw that as long as there were soldiers in the family, they could be exempt from taxes, but their hearts were quite moved, and those tenants who were originally extremely poor, the long-term workers saw that there was actually land to share, and they were really happy to distinguish between the north and the south. Of course, it's a joy to support.

Soldiers can divide the fields when they get married, and more than 1,000 old soldiers in the Changsheng Battalion have also blown up their nests, what is there in Chongxian now? There are many women! If it weren't for the officer's desperate bullet pressure, these soldiers would have run out of the camp to find their wives.

Very few of the women rescued from the Angu tribe left, these people either had nowhere to go because their families were ruined, or they were taken captive and lost their innocence, even if they returned home, they were afraid that there would be no end. When they saw this announcement in Chongxian, they were also moved, for these women who have suffered a lot, as long as they can find an honest and capable husband who really cares for them, it is enough, not to mention that there is still land to share? These women had been walking with the soldiers of the Changsheng battalion for more than a dozen days, but many of them were familiar with each other, and when these soldiers came to inquire, these women had no words to agree.

The old camp in Chongxian County began a marriage frenzy.

"There is constant productivity and perseverance!" Li Qing said proudly to Shang Haibo afterwards, "These women can't do much work, they need a lot of food to feed them, marry them, they should be raised by their husbands, and men who have women should also be more peaceful, don't be afraid that the army with a home will have no combat effectiveness, on the contrary, the army with a home will be more combative, because it is their responsibility to make their wives and children live better, not to mention that this is our nest, think about it, if someone wants to come to our nest in the future, these people will not come forward, Do you want to protect your homeland? ”

Even if Shang Haibo was proud of his talent, Li Qing's move was still beyond his expectations, and the argument that the army's combat effectiveness was higher made him even more unheard of.

Of course, Li Qing, who caused all this chain reaction, is still sleeping in the room, and the imminent crisis in Chongxian County has been passed safely, and for several days, the old camp is celebrating, as the chief official, he doesn't need to do everything himself, but he drinks too much wine every day, although the amount is large, but there are many people who can't stand the toast.

Li Qing's house was built on a sunny slope on the east side of the old camp, and the huge logs were driven into the soil as the foundation, and a building was built by skilled craftsmen, covering an area of about half an acre. Several bedrooms, a conference hall, and a kitchen, although Li Qing is still a partner in the old camp, this place has been prepared in advance. Tang Hu and Yang Yidao, two personal guards, lived with Li Qing, and the rest of the guards lived in a row of wooden houses more than ten meters away from this house.
